When she heard Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's name, Le Zhengyue showed no expression.

But when she heard about the soul fragment, Le Zhengyue froze for a moment. His gaze fixed on the Soul Spirit in front of him.

Clearly, the fragment belonging to Electrolux had most likely revived as well.

At the thought, the corner of Le Zhengyue's mouth twitched. If they all retained their memories, then what was the point? Not one of them was simple.

Still, none of that mattered all that much.

As he thought it over, Le Zhengyue chose to sell it.

Just as Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was about to disappear, his body abruptly froze, then slowly faded away.

The Void Merchant System's sales operated on a standard degree of randomness. Whatever it produced was random, but the price would never be low. It might even be better than the original.

That was why Le Zhengyue had chosen this option.

As Le Zhengyue watched, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's body began to disintegrate before him.

A terrifying divine sense appeared within him—the divine sense belonging to Electrolux, the calamity of necromancy.

The next second, Electrolux's divine sense disintegrated along with him.

Watching the Void Merchant System take out these two terrifying beings, Le Zhengyue turned his gaze to the ball of light before him.

Under Le Zhengyue's puzzled gaze, the ball of light slowly solidified.

In the end, it took the shape of a strange object: a long banner, only a few dozen centimeters in length, its surface a peculiar shade of black and blue.

Three large characters had been written across it in blue and gold threads: Human Emperor Banner.

And that wasn't all. A pitch-black power began to seep into the golden threads. Le Zhengyue didn't recognize that power, but he had seen it before on the fragment of the Necromancy Archmage.

"So it fused Electrolux's power with Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's power. No, come on. Sky Dream Ice Silkworm might be an ice silkworm, but it doesn't actually spin silk, does it?"

Le Zhengyue's mouth twitched as he spoke. It was as if they'd really used Sky Dream Ice Silkworm as a silkworm and made a banner out of the silk it produced.

Looking at the Human Emperor Banner before him, wreathed in surging black energy, Le Zhengyue's mouth twitched.

[Congratulations on obtaining the Second Martial Soul, Human Emperor Banner. The Human Emperor Banner bears the fate of heaven and earth and represents the righteous spirit of humanity. It can guide all souls to serve you.]

Reading the description and looking at the black banner, Le Zhengyue's mouth twitched.

But considering this thing was formed by fusing the powers of Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and Electrolux, there was no need to guess: it was definitely no ordinary item.

So Le Zhengyue still reached out. As the Human Emperor Banner drifted into his hand, he felt a new power emerge within him.

Then, this so-called Second Martial Soul truly appeared inside his body.

Unlike his First Martial Soul, the Dragon God Martial Soul, which came with its own Soul Rings and Soul Skills, this Second Martial Soul clearly required him to add those himself.

But looking at the little banner fluttering gently, Le Zhengyue understood what it was for.

This was a standard Human Emperor Banner. It could absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and nurture spirit forms.

It was a divine weapon for killing and looting. Not only could it nurture spirit forms, it could also nurture so-called undead—the Human Emperor Army.

"Good grief. When other people kill, they take the spirits afterward. You don't even spare the bodies."

Looking at the little banner in his hand, Le Zhengyue wore a helpless expression.

This thing was outrageously powerful, too. It had no restrictions: as long as someone died around him, he could claim them. That was a little nasty.

As he thought, Le Zhengyue stood up, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

He'd originally planned to head straight back. After all, there was little left for him to do here.

Most of the characters retained their memories, and the male characters alongside them did too.

In that situation, it was impossible to do anything to the third-generation Shrek Seven Devils. And who knew what other cheats the supporting characters might have?

So there was actually very little he could do.

But now that he'd gotten this opportunity, he had two chances to erase someone's memories. He'd already chosen one of them, so naturally, his pick for the other was Wang Dong'er.

There was no Divine Realm at this point, so at most Tang San had left a trace of his divine sense inside Wang Dong'er as a contingency.

Now, the girl who was protected from being touched had a chance to fall into his hands.

As for the other remaining chance, he obviously couldn't give it to Xiao Wu.

After all, Xiao Wu was simply too far away.

And even if he went there, there was a good chance Xiao Wu had already met Tang San by this point.

Le Zhengyue currently had no confidence in snatching anything from Tang San, the most devious, vicious, and sinister male lead.

If it were Tang Wulin or Huo Yuhao, he would still dare to scheme against them or have a little fun. But he had no plans to try anything with Tang San for now.

Tang San was far more outrageous than he'd imagined. Even before he had any strength, Le Zhengyue didn't want to get involved with him.

Of course, Tang San was definitely in the worst position of the three right now. After all, he had plenty of enemies.

For one, Qian Daoliu possessed the strength of a first-rank Angel God. Although he seemed to have gone south to smash the Holy Spirit Cult, he was still alive.

Then there was Bibi Dong, who had definitely retained her memories.

At the very least, the continent had already issued an order to hunt down Tang San. The people in power could even be said to be determined to kill him at any cost.

Of course, where some wanted to kill him, others wanted to save him. But at present, Tang San's allies couldn't compare to the Spirit Hall's forces.

However, since most people retained their memories, the Spirit Hall hadn't yet become the Spirit Hall Empire. It might never be able to, for that matter.

After all, there were bound to be people in both empires who knew the truth. Qian Renxue's identity might even have been exposed already.

But none of that was within Le Zhengyue's purview.

He couldn't get involved in the First Continent right now. There were too many powerful people there, and some of them would be beyond him even without Four-Word Battle Armor.

Take Qian Renxue and the others, for example. Once their strength reached the Limit Douluo level, they'd have nearly god-level combat power. Even Four-Word Battle Armor wouldn't be enough to beat them.

So for now, it was most important to consider the others first.

Right now, they were on the Second Continent, some distance from the Third Continent.

Going back to Eastsea City to find Xu Xiaoyan now would be rather dull.

Le Zhengyue still felt a strong desire to win over his future sister-in-law.

After all, to be honest, although she and Yue Zhengyu were deeply in love, theirs was one of the more tenuous relationships among the group.

As for Yuanen Yehui, he couldn't get in touch with her right now either. She was at Shrek Academy, and had even joined it already, so there was no way for him to approach her.

He couldn't get close to the third-generation Shrek Seven Devils. He didn't know where Xiaoxiao, one of the second-generation Shrek Seven Devils, was.

That left one other person: Jiang Nannan.
